Burning Cds / Media Player

[smilinjack]

Greetings,
I tell ya, I feel like a real dope!
13 year old kids can make audio CDs and I can't.
Do the files have to be in .wav format first?
The last time I attempted this the CD was only playable on the computer and my Sony CD walkman.
Can anyone provide me with a comprehensive walkthrough of this or should I go back to transistor radio?

Thanks,
Jack

For best sound quality, the original files should be in MP3 format but .wav will work too. Just make SURE that when you are starting the writting process that you select to "close" or "write protect" the CD. CD burning involves something called sessions, and if the sessions and disk are not closed, it will not play in a standard CD player. Just make sure the disk is as you want it before closing the CD. You can't add or remove anything once it's closed.

Hope this helps a bit,
